You'll learn actionable tactics for finding venues and speakers, building inclusive hybrid experiences and overcoming common challenges like engagement fatigue and resource constraints. Whether you're considering starting a user group in your city or looking to revitalize an existing community, you'll leave with a roadmap for creating meaningful connections that extend far beyond your local meetup.
